Solidarity, Love, and Resistance
After the results of Presidential election, many students were left distraught about the results, and therefore began to organize within the university to empower students that have felt marginalized by Trump’s rhetoric. Students, faculty and staff decided to walk out on November 15th to the UIC Quad to participate in a rally, in which students from various identities spoke about the importance of solidarity, resistance and mobilization. With colorful posters and continuous chants of solidarity, students were given the space to properly grieve and prepare for this new administration.
